About this tool
Naming is famously one of the hard problems in programming — a function's name is the interface every future reader meets first, and a vague one causes lasting confusion. This tool takes a description of what a function does and suggests a few clear, conventional names, each with a note on when it fits. It's for the moment you've written the logic but `doStuff` is the best name you've got, and you want options that follow standard conventions and read well at the call site.
Frequently asked questions
What naming convention does it use?
It defaults to camelCase for functions, the most common convention. Mention it if you need snake_case, PascalCase, or another style.
How many suggestions do I get?
Usually three to five, each with a short note so you can pick the one that reads best in your context.
Can it name variables and classes too?
It's tuned for function names, but describing a variable or class works too — just phrase the description accordingly.
